    🌦️ Weather-Driven Employee Scheduling System: Hackathon Success Story! Thrilled to share my recent experience at the Google & Cillers AI + OR Hackathon, where we developed an intelligent scheduling system for a delivery company! 🚚✨ 💡 The Project: We built a dynamic Weather-Driven Employee Scheduling System that optimizes manpower allocation based on: ☀️ Weather Data: Adjust schedules for rainy vs. sunny days. 📈 Customer Insights: Scale up during peak times like evenings, scale down during mornings. 🤖 AI-Driven Optimization: Leveraged Gemini AI for demand prediction and cost analysis, with Google OR-Tools for solving constraints. ⚙️ Tech Stack: Google OR-Tools: For efficient manpower allocation. Gemini AI: To predict demand trends and ensure cost-effectiveness. Cillers Platform: Enabled rapid development of enterprise-grade solutions. 🛠️ Hackathon Highlights: The event, led by Peder Linder and Per Lange, founders of Cillers, was a fantastic learning journey. It was inspiring to dive into technologies like Google AI Studio, Vertex AI, and collaborate with innovative minds from across the globe. 🌍 This experience reaffirmed how technology can revolutionize operations in delivery and logistics industries. 🚀 Would love to connect with fellow tech enthusiasts to explore more opportunities and ideas in this space! Feel free to share your thoughts or reach out. #AI #GoogleORTools #Hackathon #GeminiAI #Cillers #EmployeeScheduling #Innovation

    I had a great time last week when I joined Per Lange's podcast. We talked a bit about how I got into tech and how I ended up studying at the university in Rome. We then chatted about organizing Hackathons, and about developer productivity and yes, of course we also talked about AI 😄 (and more specifically, what we're doing at Red Hat around these subjects). If you're interested, the link to the Spotify podcast is below 🙂 . https://lnkd.in/ejVxJ4G6

    🎉 We Won the Google & Cillers Hackathon! 🎉 Yesterday, my incredible team, Ria Raj, Mithun Peddakalva, Daniel Larsson and I participated in the Google & Cillers Hackathon, tackling one of the managers' biggest challenges: last-minute scheduling disruptions due to employee sickness. Using cutting-edge technologies like Google OR-Tools, Gemini AI, and a mobile SMS service, we built an innovative solution that stood out and secured us the WIN! 🏆 😁 Here's what we achieved: ✅ Real-Time Scheduling Updates: Employees who call in sick can now notify their managers via SMS. This triggers an automatic schedule update and sends SMS alerts to other employees who can fill the shift. Available employees can respond directly, ensuring seamless coverage. ✅Predictive Scheduling Insights: Leveraging historical sickness data and trends, we developed a predictive model using Scikit-learn to forecast potential sick leaves. This helps managers proactively prepare, optimizing both operational efficiency and employee satisfaction. ✅Our solution directly addressed the Hackathon’s theme: improving employee scheduling by combining operational efficiency with employee satisfaction, all while leveraging the power of AI and optimization tools. This victory is a testament to teamwork, focus, and the immense potential of combining OR-Tools' optimization capabilities with Gemini AI's natural language processing. It was a fantastic experience, and we are thrilled to have showcased these technologies' paradigm-shifting possibilities. Thank you to Google, Cillers - especially to Per Lange and Peder Linder, and the amazing jury: ⭐️ Anders Kronander, Engineering Manager, SKF ⭐️ Aurora Rogmark, AI/ML Engineer, Assa Abloy ⭐️ Christina Brinck, President Volvo Group Venture Capital ⭐️ Daniel Fäldt, Chief Digital Officer, SAAB ⭐️ Emil Kantelius, Director of AI Innovation & Research, Husqvarna Group ⭐️ Fredrik Ohlsson, Head of Digital Core, Volvo Cars  ⭐️ Jennie Ahlberg, Head of IT, Dollarstore ⭐️ Luba Weissmann, AI Director, Epiroc ⭐️ Magnus Malmström, CTO, Sandvik Manufacturing Solutions ⭐️ Magnus Wahlgård, Delivery Manager Future Factory, SKF ⭐️ Peter O Connell, Head of Product, Code Institute ⭐️ Peter Sundström, Head of AI Solutions, SAAB ⭐️ Rasmus Tammia, Program Manager for AI in Mining, Boliden ⭐️ Staffan Larsson, Architect and Leadership Team Member, Atlas Copco ⭐️ Viktor Jarnheimer, Founder, Proxify for this opportunity!
